FT-60 spec

Petr Ourednik All Messages By This Member #19593 Hi all, is there somebody able to share the specification and difference in between FT-60R / FT-60E / FT-60T please? (US / EU / JA versions...) Thanks, Petr
Dale Robins - 2W0ODS All Messages By This Member #19594 Hi, The difference would be the frequency allocations. Japanese designated models can sometimes be less power due to their different licences, however I think that's unlikely with a handheld. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, 16 Mar 2023, 09:53 Petr Ourednik, <indians@...> wrote: Hi all, is there somebody able to share the specification and difference in between FT-60R / FT-60E / FT-60T please?

Petr Ourednik All Messages By This Member #19596 Edited Clint, I know this spec, but I am not able to find JA spec to compare it. I can read fluently Hiragana / Katakana (Kanji), but I was not able to find the spec data sheet for FT-60T... I found these data in one Japanese sheet: FT-60T: Transmit frequency range 144 to 146MHz, 430 to 440MHz Receiving frequency range 108 to 999.99MHz (The frequency bands of 253 to 276MHz, 380 to 383MHz, 412 to 416MHz, 810 to 846MHz, 860 to 901MHz, and 915 to 961MHz blocked.) Transmit/receive frequency step 5/10/12.5/15/20/25/50/100kHz Radio format F2D, F3E Repeater shift -5.0MHz (439 to 440MHz)? In addition to the 2280 Hz signaling used by JR, the signal frequency can be varied between 300 and 3000 Hz (in 100 Hz steps), making it possible to receive non-JR air signals.? No idea about DCS, CTCSS, DTMF, signaling, Wires X and other features availability in FT-60T version... Petr
HF All Messages By This Member #19597 Thanks, Petr, Quite interesting that the Japanese spec points out that 915-961 MHz is blocked.? The English specification doesn't say that.? It says "cellular blocked" but cellphones in North America don't operate in that range.? I bought my FT-60R partly because the spec said it could receive the amateur 900 MHz band. But 918.5 to 943.5 MHz is blocked.? I'm quite disappointed that it doesn't do what Yaesu advertises that it does. Cheers Halden
Clint Bradford All Messages By This Member #19599 开云体育 I know of no "Japanese" edition of the FT-60. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mar 16, 2023, at 11:09, HF via groups.io <incorridge@...> wrote: ?Thanks, Petr, Quite interesting that the Japanese spec points out that 915-961 MHz is blocked.?

Clint Bradford All Messages By This Member #19600 I have never heard of a Yaesu FT-60T. Anyone hear of such a model? -- Clint Bradford K6LCS http//www.work-sat.com
Peter OM4AEI All Messages By This Member #19601 The bill of materials in FT-60 service manual shows several builds of the FT-60 PCB. Namely?USA A2U, EXP A1, EXP A2, EXP A3, EU B1, EU B2, EXP B3, EU C1, EU C2, EXP C3, EU D1, EU D2, AUS H1, AUS H2. How these build numbers map to the actual product name i.e. FT60-E, FT-60-R or perhaps FT-60T is not explained and not known to me. What i have found out is that the most significant differences between the build numbers is the combination of 0R resistors that are used to tell the microprocessor which band allocations are allowed.? I have learned this the hard way. The FT-60 i bought used came with a dodgy wide band mod. Someone must have used a screwdriver to pry these small resistors together with copper tracks off the board. It took me a while to figure out which resistor to fit to revert the radio to FT-60E band allocation.

Petr Ourednik All Messages By This Member #19603 Yes,?I have never heard of a Yaesu FT-60T too, until I found the Japanese datasheet with those specs as same as I got it confirmed from one of the Japanese re-sellers in Tokio. Translated to English > he wrote: " We have no FT-60r or FT-60e for sale. This is the FT-60t version for Japan market. Both, 144/430MHz bands have an output power of 5W. If you do not need to use it over two frequency bands, you can change the settings to dedicated V/U respectively, so no extra operations are required. Wideband reception from 108 to 999.99 MHz with blocked several parts of this range. No 600khz or 7.6Mhz used in JR. Up to 1000 channels can be stored in memory. There are also 10 banks, so you can manage the memory efficiently. In addition to the 2280 Hz air signals used by JR, the air signal frequency can be varied between 300 and 3000 Hz (in 100 Hz steps), making it possible to receive non-JR air signals. Air bands such as aircraft are AM received." I am not very wise about it... Petr, OK1RP
Peter OM4AEI All Messages By This Member #19604 Edited Perhaps this may help: Google translate says: Possible frequency range of sending and receiving signals Sending frequency range 144～146MHz, 430～440MHz receiving frequency range 108～999.99MHz (253～276MHz, 380～383MHz, 412～416MHz, 810～846MHz, 860～901MHz, 915～961MHz) reptile shift -5.0MHz (439～440MHz) standard It seems the radio is called just FT-60 (without R, E or T) in Japan. And the user manual is rather different from the English version:??
